Devon pubs sold in 2018

A report with the application says: “It is an important building in an exceptionally attractive group of listed buildings in an unspoilt village and the adjoining Cockington Park.”

The render on the building is currently painted cream with white windows and green doors.

The plan is to repaint the outside render light cream, in a colour called Little Greene Linen Wash, with windows and doors in Dulux Heritage Lead Grey.

The operators also want to replace a side door and move the blue plaque commemorating the building’s famous designer.

They also want to change the main entrance from the left to the right door, move the lobby, swap the toilets, redecorate, and replace a 3.5m section of bar with a bookcase to the left of the main fireplace.
